[Dolly Parton - If Only lyrics]
The word "If", just two tiny letters
Says so much for something so small
The biggest little word in existence
Never answers, just questions us all
If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds
How my face would gleam
If I'd loved you better, I wouldn't be lonely
If only, if only, if only
But looking back now I see clearly
With my twenty-twenty hindsight
Oh, but don't think I haven't paid dearly
Because you could be in my arms tonight
If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds
How my face would gleam
How I let you go, I swear is beyond me
But if only ah, if only oh, if only
I could start over, if I could go back
Have the power to change things
Then I would do that
But I listened to others like a fool
Oh, shame on me
But if only you would just come back
If only, dare I even ask oh, if only
Says so much for something so small
The biggest little word in existence
Never answers, just questions us all
If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds
How my face would gleam
If I'd loved you better, I wouldn't be lonely
If only, if only, if only
But looking back now I see clearly
With my twenty-twenty hindsight
Oh, but don't think I haven't paid dearly
Because you could be in my arms tonight
If regrets were gold, I'd be rich as a queen
If teardrops were diamonds
How my face would gleam
How I let you go, I swear is beyond me
But if only ah, if only oh, if only
I could start over, if I could go back
Have the power to change things
Then I would do that
But I listened to others like a fool
Oh, shame on me
But if only you would just come back
If only, dare I even ask oh, if only
